There is no separate confirmation for advance payments made. All payments should be made on time and without further request. As soon as the total payment has been received, the documents will be sent out.

Hotel

When can I check in or out?

You can normally check into your room between 14:00 – 15:00. If the room is not ready for you to move into at the time of your arrival, it is certainly possible to store your luggage in the hotel until then. Please speak to the reception staff on arrival.

In most hotels, check-out must take place by 11:00 – 12:00 in the morning. You will receive detailed information here at the hotel. You can also ask directly at the hotel reception whether a late check-out is possible. This is usually subject to a fee.

Can I reserve a parking space in advance?

We can forward your request for a parking space reservation to the hotel without obligation, but only the hotel can guarantee a reservation directly. Please note that any costs are usually settled directly on site.

Can I book other additional services such as an upgrade or a late check-out?

We recommend that you contact the hotel directly in such cases, as any additional charges incurred must be paid directly at the hotel.

The tour price generally includes accommodation and the selected meals. Further services included in the tour price can be found in the detailed hotel description.

How do I find and book a wheelchair-accessible room?

Please contact our service team directly at info@get2fairs.com with your request.

Rail

I missed my train, is my ticket still valid?

If you have a Flexpreis Touristik ticket, your ticket is valid for the next available train. A Discount Tourist Ticket is only valid if you missed your train due to a cancellation or fault of Deutsche Bahn (e.g. train delay). To be on the safe side, ask the train crew.

What happens to my seat reservation if I miss my connecting train?

If you miss your train due to a fault of Deutsche Bahn (e.g. train delay) or a train cancellation, the train connection is canceled and you may use other trains to get to your destination. If you have the option, it is advisable to confirm this with the train attendant or at a DB information desk at the station. You can have your seat reservation (if available) exchanged at a DB ticket counter.

How do I claim a train delay?

Applications for compensation are processed by the Passenger Rights Service Center in Frankfurt am Main. This requires the completed DB passenger rights form, which you can obtain from the DB information desk at the station or via our download link. Please submit the form there together with the original tickets.

Travel documents

How and when will I receive my documents?

As standard, we send the travel documents by e-mail once payment has been received in full.

Why haven’t I received any documents despite having made a payment?

It often takes a few days for the payment to be recorded in our system. Only then will the travel documents be sent automatically. Please also check the spam folder of your e-mail inbox. It is possible that the expected documents are in there.

Only one person is named on my travel documents, is that correct?

Only the first person traveling (main traveler) is generally named on the travel voucher. Please check whether the number of people traveling and the number of rooms/tickets/train tickets etc. booked is correct.

If this is not the case or if you notice any other discrepancies with your booked services, we recommend that you contact us directly on +49 511 33644 567 or send us a short message to info@get2fairs.com.

I am missing vouchers for partial services or I have noticed an error, what do I do?

If this is the case or you notice any other discrepancies with your booked services, we recommend that you contact us directly on +49 511 33644 567 or send us a short message to info@get2fais.com. We will check the matter immediately and send you new travel documents if necessary.

Can I rebook my train journey?
